Southern Train Ride to Hell

Ridin’ that southern train, feel the heat on my skin,

Wheels hummin' like thunder, where the hell do I begin?

Tracks lead me down, but they don’t show the way,

Southern train ride to hell, no turnin’ back today.

Smoke in the air, burnin' deep in my soul,

Grit on the rail, it's all takin’ its toll.

Moonlight through the Mist, air heavy with heat,

Train’s a-ramblin’ down, get in some rest for my feet.

Dust clouds risin’, roads fade in the night,

Chasin’ a dream, but it all seems outta my sight.

Life’s like these rails, twistin’ and turnin’ slow,

Feelin' the fire, don't know where I'll go?

Been livin’ hard, paid the price too high,

Lookin' for redemption, but the devils own passes me by.

Lost love and lost time, all feels like a fading memory,

Heart full of sorrow, cause the past echo's screams.

Hands on the throttle, but I can’t slow the load,

I’m ridin’ this train, don’t know where I’ll go.

Ridin’ that southern train, feel the heat on my skin,

Wheels hummin' like thunder, where the hell do I begin?

Tracks lead me down, but they don’t show the way,

Southern train ride to hell, no turnin’ back today.

Smoke in the air, burnin' deep in my soul,

Grit on the rail, it's all takin’ its toll.

Flames on the horizon, sky’s turnin’ red,

I’m caught in the middle, with a judgement of dread.

Grew up on struggle, never knew peace,

Now the past keeps chasin’, never gives me any release.

Every mile’s a memory, burnin' like the sun,

Can’t outrun the past, what’s done is done.

Heavy as a burden, sins I can’t shake,

But I keep movin’ forward, can’t let it break me.

Through the pines and the meadows, under a pale moon’s light,

Lookin’ for peace, but it’s nowhere in sight.

The devil’s in the air, it’s thick as the smoke,

I’m ridin’ this train, shovel'n some more coal.

Ridin’ that southern train, feel the heat on my skin,

Wheels hummin' like thunder, where the hell do I begin?

Tracks lead me down, but they don’t show the way,

Southern train ride to hell, no turnin’ back today.

Smoke in the air, burnin' deep in my soul,

Grit on the rail, it's all takin’ toll.

Ya believed in the game, now theres no where to run,

The fire’s closin’ in, smoke coke in ’the sun.

Whistle’s blowin’ loud, callin’ ya in,

Ya chasin’ the heat, cause ya know the fire won’t dim.

Through the fog and the rain, I stayed loyal to my own,

Every train’s got a stop, every mile’s been shown.

Ain’t no savior, just the sound of the grind,

ridin’ this hellbound train, now ya leavin’ it all behind.

But the night’s so cold, and the devil’s right there,

Soul’s in the fire, but do ya even care.

This southern ride’s the price that is payed,

So keep ridin’ and‘ roll the dice on judgment day.

Ridin’ that southern train, feel the heat on my skin,

Wheels hummin' like thunder, where the hell do I begin?

Tracks lead me down, but they don’t show the way,

Southern train ride to hell, no turnin’ back today.

Smoke in the air, burnin' deep in my soul,

Grit on the rail, it's takin’ its all toll.
